ECB security delegation visits Gaddafi Stadium

ECB
  • A security committee from the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) visited the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore.
  • The security team also visited the National Stadium in Karachi, Multan Cricket Stadium, and Pindi Cricket Stadium.
  • After 2005, England will make its maiden trip to Pakistan.

A security committee from the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) came to Gaddafi Stadium to assess the facilities before England’s impending trip to Pakistan.

The director of International Cricket for the PCB briefed the security delegation, which included Richard Snowball, Robert Lynch, John Carr, and Reg Dickason, at the National High-Performance Center (NHPC).

Before the significant English team’s tour, the delegation toured various areas of the stadium to inspect the infrastructure.

The security team also stopped at the National Stadium in Karachi, Multan Cricket Stadium, and Pindi Cricket Stadium before arriving at Gaddafi Stadium.

The locations for seven T20 Internationals will be decided once this delegation submits a report to the ECB.

After 2005, England will make its maiden trip to Pakistan. Keep in mind that New Zealand abruptly withdrew from the Pakistan tour due to security concerns after England postponed their tour last year.
